"Искупление"
Джейк Макферсону нужна была жена... Он был ветераном Гражданской войны, раненным в теле и душе. Когда его жена неожиданно умерла, он ушел от жизни, желая только уединения и своих счастливых воспоминаний. Но его молодому сыну нужна была материнская любовь и руководство, даже если сам Джейк не желал никакой женщины. И кто лучше всего подойдет, чем незамужняя учительница города?
Алисия Мерриуэзер так сильно хотела любить... Она пришла предупредить Джейка, что его сын беспутствует. Но она осталась, потому что под его грубым внешним видом она увидела боль и одиночество Джейка. Будучи объектом насмешек всю свою жизнь, высокая и простая Алисия слишком хорошо понимала оба аспекта. Но сможет ли Джейк когда-нибудь научиться делить свой дом и свое сердце?
Jake McPherson WANTED TO BE... He was a man distraught over the loss of his wife, his hope and his will for life all shattered and twisted. And to compound matters, his son needed the warmth of a mother's presence and he found himself encouraged to propose to the lovely school teacher he'd known all his life and gradually fell head over heels in love with her.
But Alicia Merriweather WANTED OR ROBBED... How could a girl who'd spent her entire life weathering the ridicule and hurt of those around her want or choose this walk of passion? What she knew in her heart wasn't quite enough and she became reluctant, even as the fires of longing between them surged. Before long Alicia had fallen head over heels for Jake, finding comfort but also a chance for romance in these unexpected circumstances.
